1. The comments in the first article are amusing

A lot of angry white people mad that the newspaper ran the story.

Pathetic.

2. I never read the comments

at any news site. It's pointless.

3. K&R n/t

4. The first link is the first good explanation I've read.

I do think that MB's body was left lying there for too long, but I do see some rational explanation for leaving it there for a while. The remarks from those who were NOT directly involved do provide useful insight into the matter.

5. Everyone should read Why was Michael Brown's body left there for hours?

6. After reading this article I fear justice will not be found, I hope I am wrong ...

http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/12/us/ferguson-missouri-michael-brown-whats-next/

Latest news on investigations which shows no good outcome for justice IMO

7. I am hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst

Michael Brown deserves justice, the AA community deserves and the US deserves justice. Police departments in the US are out of control .... essentially answering only to themselves

8. I guess there comes a time when one realizes we must be prepared for either outcome...

When I read that article, it kind of felt that for all their investigation talk, the outcome will be to their liking not ours...

And yes Michael and so so many others deserve justice, at this moment in time, I just can't see the end result being real justice...

9. I have no faith in CNN's accuracy.

They are notorious for getting things wrong. Here's an example from your link.

St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch is the prosecutor presenting evidence to the grand jurors.

A local report from three weeks ago says different. This is from a news organization that actually talked to McCulloch, and does so on a regular basis.

McCulloch said he won't be presenting the case to the grand jury himself. That will be the job of two assistant prosecutors, Kathi Alizadeh and Sheila Whirley. Alizadeh, who is white, is the homicide prosecutor on duty and has 27 years' experience. Whirley, who is black, has the grand jury assignment and has 18 years' experience.

11. I can agree the major media outlets can be questionable in its reporting of facts, let's hope

justice will prevail and not 5 years from now

for black men in amerika. Just ask, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, John Crawford III or Eric Garner. Oh wait, you can't, they have already received amerikkkan justice.
